Tips For Single Parents

Meal plan. Dinner doesn’t have to be super awesome. Chicken nuggets and French fries. There is a lot you can do with beans and rice.

Lean into getting support from family and friends. Have a group and community that is supportive and encouraging.

Depending on the age of the kid, it’s better for you to take showers over a bath. Quicker in and out. Younger kids are very curious. Showers are quick and you can more quickly attend to your kid after getting out of the shower.

Get everything together the night before. Lunch, clothes for the kids, breakfast set up, etc. It makes the next day go smoother

Kids can help you clean up. Don’t put everything on yourself to do.

Use programs and assistance offered. Everything helps

Let the kids do their version helping while you cook. Even if it is just banging empty pots so they feel like they are helping. Play-Doh was also used a lot. I used to make homemade play-doh with my daughter when she was little. She loved it because the dough was warm after we made it and she would play with it.

Don’t worry about everything being perfect all the time. It never happens.

Say I’m sorry. You will mess up. You will make a mistake. Your kids know you will make mistakes. Saying I’m sorry lets them know it’s not intentional and that saying I’m sorry is meaningful for them when they grow up to be adults.

Find a schedule that works for you and keep it.https://19216801.onl/https://routerlogin.uno/
